Bridging digital divide: Sen. Sonny Angara, in his co-sponsorship speech of Senate Bill No. 1834 or the Philippine Digital Workforce Competitiveness Act during Tuesday’s hybrid session, September 15, 2020, says while some people are making inroads for their skills and competencies in digital technologies, not everybody is well-versed and literate. “That, in fact, is one dimension of the so-called ‘digital divide’ that doesn't get discussed enough. When we speak about bridging this digital divide, we always bring up issues of lack of access to affordable gadgets and reliable connectivity,” said Angara, the principal author of the bill.
